Bishop Frampton (Vol. iii., p. 61.).—See an interesting notice of his preaching in Pepys' Diary, Jan. 20, 1666-7; and what is said of him in Lathbury's Nonjurors, p. 203. But probably Mr. Evans is already aware of these references to Bishop Frampton, whose life is a desideratum which many will be glad to hear is going to be supplied.

Old Tract on the Eucharist (Vol. iii., p. 169.).—The author of the tract on the Eucharist, referred to by Abhba, was the Rev. John Patrick. The title of the tract, as given in the catalogues of Archbishop Wake, No. 22.; of Dr. Gee, No. 73.; and of Peck, No. 286., of the Discourses against Popery during the Reign of James II., is as follows:—
"A Full View of the Doctrines and Practices of the Ancient Church relating to the Eucharist, wholly different from those of the present Roman Church, and inconsistent with the Belief of Transubstantiation; being a sufficient Confutation of Consensus Veterum, Nubes Testium, and other late Collections of the Fathers pretending the contrary. By John Patrick, Preacher at the Charter-house, 1688. 4to."

This tract is in 4to., and contains pp. xv. 202. It is one of the more valuable of the numerous tracts published on the Roman Catholic controversy during the reign of James II. In a collection of more than two hundred of these made at the period of publication, and now in my library, the names of the authors are written upon the titles, and this is attributed to Mr. Patrick. In another collection from the library of the late Mr. Walter Wilson, it is stated to be by Bishop Patrick. Bishop Gibson reprinted the tract in his Preservative against Popery, London, 1738, fol. vol. ii. tit. vii. pp. 176—252.; and in the table of contents says that it was written by "Mr. Patrick, late preacher of the Charter-house." Not Bishop Patrick therefore, but his brother, Dr. John Patrick, who died 1695, aged sixty-three, was the author of this tract.
